...it won't matter much to my wife if i tell her ;)

LOL. I can appreciate that. But you can tell her that you could have chosen an expensive hobby rather than one that pays you, so really it's the same as if you were making hundreds per month, maybe even thousands.

I, for one, am happy to read this, having just introduced AS to my site two weeks ago (all is working well, albeit modestly). Did you have steady growth from the get-go, or did you hit a plateau early on and remained there until this month?

@ken_b I hope so too but I never heard about an ever green land i think it is bound to drop again

@rj87uk $10 a day WOW is it doable for me?

@tim222 lol I do have a hobby that cost me thousands that's why i started adsense to cover it ;)

@Hobbs I hope she won't read this :)

@Castlegirl Good luck Castlegirl in your venture. In summary I hit the $150 since month one and stayed there for 1.5 year of course in the beginning it took me a lot of efforts to promote the site since i wasn't yet indexed by google. but for some reason i was never able to break the $150 before this month. Just a bit of advice take full advantage of your early days with AS smart pricing hits pretty quick

Have you noticed a relationship between your earnings and the quality of your content? I mean - if the content is not as good and throughout as it possibly could be, have you noticed higher earnings?

I'm not sure if you track your outgoing clicks somehow, but do your users click more often on the Adsense links from a page that has a better quality content than from a page that has less quality content?

Again thanks all @menial My opinion only, I get more clicks from visitors than from readers. what I mean is that, from time to time, i post a viral kind of stuff that drives a lot of traffic from just ppl who will access my site once. and I notice that those kind of persons click more. So to put it in your terms low quality stuff

@potentialgeek DOUBLE that? I posted not so long ago a thread calling for help to double my CTR it seems u missed it :) Anyway if it doesn't bother you, i can PM you the site link if you can take a look at it

Actually I've gone from {...} to {........} by focusing on content and traffic not AdSense, yes if things were more predictable with AdSense I would have been making {.................} instead, but I can live with {...} if I have to.

ArtistMike, I wonder if eCPM and EPC representation by {.....} could be a violation of the TOS.

Anyway, the lesson here is to focus on what makes you {...} and grow it, then the {........} will follow, or whatever that means!

Congrats!

My first site launched in January 2005. This site made mere pennies and it took me over a year to get my first payment. Three months after my first payment, I was stable to the point of making $150-$200 monthly from that one site. That continues until today.

On October 14th I launched a new site. It made me $50 the first day and stayed in the range of $40-$75 until the very end of October. I ended up having my first $1000+ month in October! I am very excited!

The new site, however, slowly has started to die down in traffic and my eCPM has effectively went down by half. I only make around $10-$20 a day from it now, in addition to the $7-$8 from my old site. I will probably end up with around $800 this month.

we still are making around half what you are making.... so lots of optimization to be done in our sites................

but we have done many things now...read around 3 books on adsense tweaking and thousand of posts...still.....so next..we are thinking.... we have done all basic things are 100% clear and use legal ways only....

The site got 75,000 unique visits the first month, from October 14 - November 14. It also had 1,335,000 page impressions.

The site was doing a lot more than $10-$20 a day the first month, but it has went down to those numbers now.

The site is related to a video game. I launched the site by ONLY posting links to it on two message boards and I got 50,000 page impressions the first day. I get around half that right now, but I'll be launching a ton of new features shortly that will help to increase my visits again.

I offer a unique site that isn't just the content you are thinking of. I really don't even have to do anything like write content. The site gets it's data by itself. You could call it a statistics website for this video game.
